                                </div>
                            </div>
                            <p>In the past, Israeli leaders who risked damaging the country’s most important
                                relationship, that with Washington, tended to pay a price. In 1991, when
                                Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir opposed the Madrid peace talks, President
                                George H.W. Bush held back loan guarantees to help absorb immigrants from
                                the former Soviet Union. Shamir gave in, but his government soon collapsed.</p>
                            <p>But this time, Netanyahu was not hurt by his personal and substantive
                                conflicts with the U.S. president.</p>
                            <p>“While the United States is loved and beloved in Israel, President Obama
                                is not,” said Robert M. Danin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign
                                Relations. “So the perceived enmity didn’t hurt the way it did with Shamir
                                when he ran afoul of Bush in ’91.”</p>
                            <p>Where do U.S.-Israeli relations go from here?</p>
                            <p>In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s elections, tensions between the
                                two sides continued to run hot. The Obama administration’s first comments
                                on the Israeli election came with a tough warning about some of the pre-election
                                rhetoric from Netanyahu’s Likud party, which tried to rally right-wing
                                support by saying that Arab Israeli voters were “coming out in droves.”</p>
                            <p>“The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric
                                that seeks to marginalize Arab Israeli citizens,” White House press secretary
                                Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One. “It undermines the values
                                and democratic ideals that have been important to our democracy and an
                                important part of what binds the United States and Israel together.”</p>
                            <p>Earnest added that Netan­yahu’s election-eve disavowal of a two-state
                                solution for Israelis and Palestinians would force the administration to
                                reconsider its approach to peace in the region.</p>
                            <div></div>
                            <p>Over the longer term, a number of analysts say that Obama and Netan­yahu
                                will seek to play down the friction between them and point to areas of
                                continuing cooperation on military and economic issues.</p>
                            <p>“Both sides are going to want to turn down the rhetoric,” Danin said.
                                “But it is also a structural problem. They have six years of accumulated
                                history. That’s going to put limits on how far they can go together.”</p>
                            <p>The first substantive test could come as early as this month, when the
                                United States hopes that it can finish hammering out the framework of an
                                agreement with Iran.</p>
                            <p>Netanyahu strongly warned against making a “bad deal” during his March
                                3 address to a joint meeting of Congress, an appearance arranged by Republican
                                congressional leaders and criticized by the Obama administration for making
                                U.S.-Israeli relations partisan on both sides so close to the Israeli election.</p>
                            <p>If a deal is reached and does not pass muster with Netanyahu, he is likely
                                to work with congressional Republicans to try to scuttle the accord.</p>
                            <p>“The Republicans have said they will do what they can to block a deal,
                                and the prime minister has already made clear that he will work with the
                                Republicans against the president,” Indyk said. “That’s where a clash could
                                come, and it’s coming very quickly.”</p>
                            <p>The second test — talks with Palestinians — could be even more difficult.
                                In his September 2013 address to the United Nations, Obama hailed signs
                                of hope.</p>
                            <p>“Already, Israeli and Palestinian leaders have demonstrated a willingness
                                to take significant political risks,” Obama said in his speech. Palestinian
                                Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “has put aside efforts to shortcut the
                                pursuit of peace and come to the negotiating table. Prime Minister Netanyahu
                                has released Palestinian prisoners and reaffirmed his commitment to a Palestinian
                                state.”</p>
                            <p>Today, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2015/03/18/what-netanyahus-election-victory-means-for-the-palestinians/"
                                title="www.washingtonpost.com">the signals could not differ more</a>. The
                                Palestinian Authority has said that after it joins the International Criminal
                                Court at The Hague on April 1, it will press war crimes charges against
                                Israel for the bloody Gaza conflict during the summer. Israel, which controls
                                tax receipts, has pledged to punish the Palestinian Authority by freezing
                                its tax revenue.</p>
                            <p>The United States, which gives hundreds of millions of dollars of economic
                                aid to the Palestinian Authority, would be caught in the middle. It has
                                been trying to persuade both sides to stand down, but Netanyahu’s declaration
                                that there would be no Palestinian state on his watch makes that more difficult.</p>
                            <p>“Now it’s hard to see what could persuade the Palestinians” to hold up
                                on their ICC plans, Indyk said. “That has nothing to do with negotiations,
                                but if both sides can’t be persuaded to back down, then they will be on
                                a trajectory that could lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority
                                because it can’t pay wages anymore.</p>
                            <p>“That could be an issue forced onto the agenda about the same time as
                                a potential nuclear deal.”</p>
